Photos have surfaced showing a French couple posing with the corpses of several animals they hunted in Tanzania in 2014.

The images have caused outrage and the married couple, Jacques and Martine Alboud, have been forced to sell their supermarket franchise in L’Arbresle, France after being subject to boycotts, death threats, and condemnation from the supermarket’s parent company, Super U, the Daily Mail reports.

The Albouds are seen in the images posing with the dead animals, which include what appears to be a leopard, hippo, buffalo, and several more.

A Super U spokesperson said they oppose the couple’s activities and that their behaviour is “in total opposition with the values defended by us.”

The spokesperson also told the Daily Mail: “We condemn them even if they are private activities,” adding the couple “will leave (the company) with immediate effect.”

While the Albouds declined to comment when contacted by French media, a testimonial from them can be found on the safari organizer’s website.

According to the Daily Mail, the testimonial gives “Thanks to Clinton for his passion and his patience which allowed me to have such a successful, beautiful and fun safari, with top leopard and top crocodile,” and also “We will be back with Pierré and Clinton van Tonder!”
